Google Play Store isn't working or won't download apps
Clear Play Store's temporary files. This fixes most Play Store problems and takes 2 minutes.
Play Store keeps temporary files that sometimes get corrupted, breaking everything. Clearing the cache is like wiping dust off your glasses. You're not deleting anything important, just clearing out the junk. You need to clear two different caches (Play Store and Google Play Services) to completely reset it.
Risk: Low

- Clearing only Play Store cache and forgetting Play Services cache. You need both.
- Clearing storage instead of cache. This logs you out and causes worse problems.
